Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
Security Problems
1) Property not clean nor ready: guy was leaving 15” before checkin (owner, that day, had wanted to know when we would get there as it was “Labor Day weekend” which seemed to make it hard for them to get place cleaned —we shouldn’t have to be precise about arrival time, as it was promised for 4PM checkin time, period! ; slap dash cleaning; no paper towels in kitchen— were told to use filthy-looking cloth hanging over stove (so dirty no one would touch it) for paper towels! (gross!); two full, open bags of rotting garbage from previous occupants in backyard next to house (rats anyone?); black handprints on front and other doors. Everything became suspect for lack of cleanliness.was furniture vacuumed? Were sheets washed?, were bathrooms clean?, etc. YUCK!
2). Major security issues: All patio doors were installed backwards and locks did not work—because doors were backwards, one couldn’t even use sticks along bottom frame to prevent illegal entry; backyard had circumferential fencing, but gate latch was installed on alley side! So made illegal entry into backyard easy and invited, while making it very hard for occupants to get out as one must reach over a six foot high fence; about half of windows lacked screens—inviting mosquitoes, rodents, etc. to enter if windows were opened, especially at night (BTW the 2nd & 3rd floors got quite hot in August). Place needed fresh air as whole place smelled stale and musty; only one casement window handle for 4 windows on 3rd floor.
